Yom Rishon, Tevet 15, 6003 – December 23, 2018
Time With God
This morning as I was trying to think of what feels comforting to me personally, several ideas came to minds. For some people I know they are comforted by being close to home. For some it is a drive in the country (I like that one as well). The list goes on. But as I thought about the list, I realized that it is different for me, as there is truly one thing that stands out from the rest. Being alone with God is the most comforting thing for me to experience. There is something about knowing that He is there and available, and actually wants to be close to us.
Haggai 1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.
It is important to note here that we are now the living stones and that we are the temple. We are to build our temple for our Father to be in, and not for us to house our own worldly desires. When we do, then the blessings return to us many fold.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, so perfectly. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that we might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil inside and out. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Destroy the works of darkness in our midst, and nipping at our heals. Restore to Your people all that the worm has eaten. Retore unto Your people one thousandfold of all the good that the enemy has taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,503,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. Thank You, Father, for always being there. I know You hear me, and You always hear me. This is for the others. I love you. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.
